I am of course honor-bound to share these studio portraits of James Earl Jones shot by Carl Van Vechten in 1961.

These are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

He’s a cool dude.

He was dreamy

I think my students would call him a snack (and I would agree)

See this is where you benefit from following a combination art historian / movie obsessive

In addition to being a fantastic actor, he was such an unbelievable babe.

Those eyes!

Wow

He looked like a cool jazz musician
